  • Argument II disagrees with the statement, saying that hunting is done for entertainment, but it does not justify as to why it should not be banned. Only being a source of entertainment doesn't justify not banning the act of hunting. Thus, Argument II is not strong.

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
